To reach Anakeesta, you must either ride the airborne Chondola or take the Ridge Rambler military vehicle. Once you've arrived, you have a number of exhilarating activities to choose from! You can race a friend or family member on the dueling zipline. If you're chasing an adrenaline rush but want to stay a little closer to the ground, then you can try out the Rail Runner Mountain Coaster, which features a 400 ft. elevation change and reaches speeds of up to 25 mph. There's also an observation tower called AnaVista Tower (the highest point in downtown Gatlinburg!), a family-friendly splash pad, an an obstacle course called TreeVentrue Challenge Course. There are lots of play areas for kids, including a smaller challenge course and a gem mining station.
